No, not at all. The New Model School system offers a stimulating and enjoyable curriculum and we are firmly committed to the total education of our pupils. In the first New Model School in Kensal Town, for example, children have regular access to a park and a swings-and-slides play-area. We also include activities from yoga to arts-and-crafts on the curriculum. The emotional and physical development of each pupil is as important to us as any intellectual pursuit.
